You can also disable Windows Updates via the GPE (Group Policy Editor), but you must have a supported edition of Windows 10- being Education, Pro or Enterprise.
Thanks for your In depth guide.

There isn't just a simple button that says "Disable automatic updates". I will be teaching you two easy ways to disable it.

Method 1: easier method

Code:

Go to settings [i]not control panel.[/i] Then go to "Network and Internet" Next click the "Wi-Fi" tab Now click "Manage known networks" Then click on your network, click "Properties" Scroll down until you find "Metered Connection" and turn that on

Now Windows 10 should not automatically download updates  

Method 2: a bit harder method

Code:

Open Run by either doing the "Windows key + R" key combo, or clicking on Cortana and typing Run In Run type regedit then click OK or just hit enter On the left, navigate to { HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows } Right click the "Windows" folder, hover over "New", and then click "Key" Now type "WindowsUpdate" and press enter Right click the newly created "Key" called "WindowsUpdate" hover over "New" then click "Key" Type "AU" and press enter Right click the new "AU" key hover over "New" then click "DWORD (32-bit) Value" Now name that new key "AUOptions" and click enter Go to that new option, double click it, and enter one of the following values: 2 - "Notify for download and notify for install." 3 - "Auto download and notify for install." 4 - "Auto download and schedule the install." 5 - "Allow local admin to choose settings." I would suggest 2 Now click OK, or hit enter Close the Registry Editor

If you chose option 2 then you will get a notification in Notification Center letting you know that updates are available. I really hope that this could help you! Also, give me feedback of what I could to improve my tutorial's in the future.


P.S. If you have any other methods, please drop them below!

So you've disabled the Windows Update Service (exactly as per my above post), applied the edit via the Group Policy Editor and It still updates?

If your Windows "edition" supports the GPE, disable the updates from there.

Also, set your Internet connection to "Metered connection" by navigating as follows:

(1). Start  > Settings  > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi  > Manage known networks.
(2). Then go to: Wi-Fi network > Properties >  (turn on) Set as metered connection.

This does not limit your Internet connectivity, but more so gives the Impression that you have "limited" resources to update/download, hence Windows Updates takes this as such and does not allow the updates to Install.
